Pistachio Entertainment

Contact: 0416 020 905

www.pistachioentertainment.com

Pistachio Entertainment's Parties are created by Emily McGlinn and Mario Martinez-Diaz who met touring together for more than 5 years with the most successful children's entertainment company The Wiggles and one day decided to create their own company.
This couple are well trained actors/dancers and love working for Children!

We will arrive at your party to set up an area for our entertainment and once in character start interacting with the children accordingly to the character and theme of your choice.Starting with a character introduction we will captivate the little guest with party theatrical routines, filled with music and movement.

The Hosts will teach the children some dance movements, they will play instruments recognising rhythm and sound and they will interact with lots of props such ribbons, pom poms etc.

There are also lots of games such as pass the parcel, egg and spoon races, limbo, tunnels, and we will finish with an arts and craft activity so you can make your own memento to take home and remember the good time!

I saw Emily and Mario at my daughter's classmate party when I was looking for great hosts for my son's Dinosaur and Princess 4th birthday party. Luckily I met them. Emily and Mario did a great job at the party, entertaining every kid with different ages from 2-7. Highly recommend them!

I was so very impressed with Emily & Mario from Pistachio Entertainment who engaged 20 x 4year olds at my sons 4th birthday on a very rainy saturday morning. The kids played and danced for a whole hour followed by the very popular face painting & balloon making. Emily & Mario were so very professional & I would not hesitate to book them again. Thankyou so very much.

All the kids (and parents) were fully entertained and really enjoyed the show. It left my guests wanting more and talking about the show for the remainder of the party. Once the show was finished Emily and Mario entertained the children over lunch with balloons, face painting and then games which was a huge help to me and great fun for the kids. I will definately consider using them again, and recommend them to anyone wanting high quality entertainment for their child's party.

Their outstanding organisational skills and passion to entertain children of all ages shines through. I was extremely amazed at how they kept the kids entertained for 1.5 hours and the evidence was clear - 100% participation from all the children, with the highlight clearly being the 'Tug of War' game and the gorgeous costumes....Thank you so much again Mario and Emily for making my son's birthday a memorable one. On a final note, my daughter was thoroughly impressed with the funky tunes coming out of the speaker during musical statues. Pistachio Entertainment, Highly Recommended!

From parents' point of view they were professional and able to modify the programme to suit our needs and we felt looked after, and they are clearly experienced kids entertainers so they just "clicked" with the kids and obviously the kids loved them.

Great entertainers

Emily & Mario did a most wonderful job running the show during our daughter's recent 7th birthday party. I practically could just concentrate on taking pictures and video while they had the girls (and a boy) entertained non-stop. They were definitely an excellent choice, couldn't have been better!
